Sri Vishnusahasranama: Avyaah

[Guest guest]

Avyaah –“Vyaya” means destruction; destruction cannot be without change;

therefore, that which is “without destruction” (Avyayah) is the changeless. The

Indestructible, and therefore, changeless, can never have any modifications

(Parinaama). For, modification is but the death of a previous condition and the

birth of a new condition. The Eternal and the Immutable (Avyayah) is the Supreme

Sat-chit- aananda, and every other thing and being come under the hammer or

change. The medium in which all these changes are sustained is Brahman, the

Immutable. The Upanishads glorify Him as “Ajaro Amaro Avyayah”-without old age,

death or change.
